Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux based)
Novell Service Location Protocol (SLP) v2
Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Service Pack 2
Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Service Pack 1

Situation

OES 2 (no service pack) openSLP DA's do not syncronize with or show other DA's.
Only one DA (may or may not be the server running openSLP) shows.

Resolution

The version of openSLP that shipped with OES2/SLES 10 SP1 does not correctly syncronize with other Directory Agent's. Several problems have been observed with openSLP syncronization. Specifically:
  • eDirectory syncronization
  • Novell Client problems
  • Problems with clustering
In order to resolve tihs problem upgrade openSLP upgrade to OES 2 SP1. Alternatively, you may update the openSLP packages in SLES 10 SP2.
